HAPPENINGS
HERE AND THERE.
Found alive beside the body of his
dead comrade in the Sibley mine
near Ely after five days' hungering,
thirsting and half smothering, Joseph Slcusik will realize, when he
awakes, the desperate hopes he felt
when a few hours before he cried out
and pounded on the wall of his prison
until he fell exhausted and insensible.
He heard the rescuers who for five
days had worked unceasingly, digging
toward the level where the six men
had been walled up by a cavein. This
they knew, because they heard him
signaling them. From then until the
moment the earth wall had been dug
through the rescuers worked feverishly.
They found Skusik apparently uninjured. His companion had succumbed to the terrible drain on his vitality.
Skusik was barely alive, but he revived rapidly under treatment.
The rescuers gave up hope some
days ago of finding any of the men
alive. Now they believe some of the
four others may live and they are
rushing work to reach them.
AGREE TO ASSIST THE SOUTH
Twin City and Duluth Banks Join
Cotton Pool.
The banks of St. Paul, Minneapolis
and Duluth, subject to the approval of
the boards of directors, will raise $1,-
000,000 as part of the $125,000,000
cotton pool.
After having twice refused to participate in the cotton pool the bankers considered the matter again on
the urgent appeals of Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo and agreed to
raise the $1,000,000 asked.
On account of the European war the
South has been caught with almost
its entire cotton crop on its hands.
Exportation of cotton to the Euro-
pea.n mills amounts to almost nothing
and conditions in the South are serious.
The anoney will be subject to the
call of the secretary of the treasury
and cotton will be held for the money
invested.

BREWERS PROPOSE TO FIGHT'
Acting for Cato Sells, federal commissioner of Indian affairs, Special
Agent Henry A. Larson of the Indian
department at Washington has issued
an order at Bemidji that all saloons
included in the territory affected
by the Chippewa treaty of 1855
must close their doors by Nov. 30.
About 200 saloons in fifty-nine towns
are affected. Drug stores which sell
liquor also come under the order.
Action of the government, following
the recent decision by the United
States supreme court that the provisions prohibiting the sale of liquor
under the treaty of 1855 are valid,
first became known when Special
Agent Larson and his deputies arrived
here from a trip through the affected
district.
By personal notification they told
Ihe saloonists that they must close
their doors by the end of the month.
While liquor interests at Bemidji and
elsewhere in the affected district have
held out hope that the government
would not actually close the saloons,
but would, keep strict watch for law
violations in regard to liquor sales to
Indians, they anticipated the closing
order after a conference of officials
and Special Agent Larson when he arrived at Bemidji from Washington.
Seals Fate of Liquor District.
When the government agent refused to state the nature of his trip
to Northern Minnesota the impression
prevailed that the fate of the liquor
district had been sealed. The towns
affected by the order are:
Barrow, Bemidji, Big Falls, Big
Fork, Bovey, Brainerd, Buhl, Calloway,
Calumet, Cass Lake, Chisholm, Co-
hasset, Coleraine, Crosby, Cuyuna,
Deer River, Deerwood, Dent, Detroit,
Federal Dam, Floodwood, Frazee,
Funkley, Gemmell, Georgetown, Grand
Rapids, Hibbing, Holman, Iron Hub,
Irontown, Jenkins, Keewatin, Kelleher,
Kelly Falls, Lude, Marble, Mizpah,
Nashwauk, New York Mills, Northome,
Nymore, Ogema, Oreland, Otter Tail,
Park Rapids, Perham, Pillager, Se-
beca, Shevlin, Solway, Stevenson,
Ten Strike, Turtle River, Verna, Walker, Warba and Wilton.
The order conies as the close of long
arguments, hearings and speculation
concerning the treaty of 1855, which
is one of six dealing with Indian
problems.
Bemidji, one of the largest towns to
be affected, has twenty-one saloons,
with two at Nymore, a suburb. Hibbing is the largest town in the territory.

Millionaire Lumberman Kills Self in
St. Paul Hotel.
William Sauntry, one time lumber
king of tbe St. Croix river, shot and
killed himself in a room at the Ryan
hotel, St. Paul. His body was found
by a bellboy.
Nothing to explain his act was left
in the room or in his pockets by the
former millionaire lumber and coal
man.
No one heard the report of the revolver. The bullet entered the roof
of Sauntry's mouth and passed directly through the brain.
Mr. Sauntry, wdio was sixty-one
years old, arrived at Stillwater when
twenty years old. He entered the
lumber industry and for a time drove
oxen in the lumber and logging camps.
His business ability brought him rapidly to the front of the industry.
When the lumber industry began to
wane Mr. Sauntry invested his money
in coal mines and in the iron fields of
Northern Minnesota.
In this industry he made the bulk of
his money and at one time was rated
at nearly $2,000,000.

Object to General Application of the
Indian "Lid."
If agents of the Indian department
confine their activities in enforcing
the Indian treaty lid of 1855 to such
towns as Bemidji, Walker, Cass Lake,
Bena and Ball Club it is likely they
will meet with no opposition from the
State Brewers' association and the
Business Men's Treaty committee, of
which Mayor Victor Power of Hibbing
is chairman.
If Special Agent H. A. Larson, representing Cato Sells, commissioner of
Indian affairs at Washington, attempts
to extend the application of the supreme court's decision of June 8 to
cities unfrequented by the Indians
protracted litigation will ensue.
This summary of the situation was
authorized by Fred YV. Zollman, attorney for the Brewers' association.

BREWERS PROPOSE TO FIGHT'
Acting for Cato Sells, federal commissioner of Indian affairs, Special
Agent Henry A. Larson of the Indian
department at Washington has issued
an order at Bemidji that all saloons
included in the territory affected
by the Chippewa treaty of 1855
must close their doors by Nov. 30.
About 200 saloons in fifty-nine towns
are affected. Drug stores which sell
liquor also come under the order.
Action of the government, following
the recent decision by the United
States supreme court that the provisions prohibiting the sale of liquor
under the treaty of 1855 are valid,
first became known when Special
Agent Larson and his deputies arrived
here from a trip through the affected
district.
By personal notification they told
Ihe saloonists that they must close
their doors by the end of the month.
While liquor interests at Bemidji and
elsewhere in the affected district have
held out hope that the government
would not actually close the saloons,
but would, keep strict watch for law
violations in regard to liquor sales to
Indians, they anticipated the closing
order after a conference of officials
and Special Agent Larson when he arrived at Bemidji from Washington.
Seals Fate of Liquor District.
When the government agent refused to state the nature of his trip
to Northern Minnesota the impression
prevailed that the fate of the liquor
district had been sealed. The towns
affected by the order are:
Barrow, Bemidji, Big Falls, Big
Fork, Bovey, Brainerd, Buhl, Calloway,
Calumet, Cass Lake, Chisholm, Co-
hasset, Coleraine, Crosby, Cuyuna,
Deer River, Deerwood, Dent, Detroit,
Federal Dam, Floodwood, Frazee,
Funkley, Gemmell, Georgetown, Grand
Rapids, Hibbing, Holman, Iron Hub,
Irontown, Jenkins, Keewatin, Kelleher,
Kelly Falls, Lude, Marble, Mizpah,
Nashwauk, New York Mills, Northome,
Nymore, Ogema, Oreland, Otter Tail,
Park Rapids, Perham, Pillager, Se-
beca, Shevlin, Solway, Stevenson,
Ten Strike, Turtle River, Verna, Walker, Warba and Wilton.
The order conies as the close of long
arguments, hearings and speculation
concerning the treaty of 1855, which
is one of six dealing with Indian
problems.
Bemidji, one of the largest towns to
be affected, has twenty-one saloons,
with two at Nymore, a suburb. Hibbing is the largest town in the territory.

Millionaire Lumberman Kills Self in
St. Paul Hotel.
William Sauntry, one time lumber
king of tbe St. Croix river, shot and
killed himself in a room at the Ryan
hotel, St. Paul. His body was found
by a bellboy.
Nothing to explain his act was left
in the room or in his pockets by the
former millionaire lumber and coal
man.
No one heard the report of the revolver. The bullet entered the roof
of Sauntry's mouth and passed directly through the brain.
Mr. Sauntry, wdio was sixty-one
years old, arrived at Stillwater when
twenty years old. He entered the
lumber industry and for a time drove
oxen in the lumber and logging camps.
His business ability brought him rapidly to the front of the industry.
When the lumber industry began to
wane Mr. Sauntry invested his money
in coal mines and in the iron fields of
Northern Minnesota.
In this industry he made the bulk of
his money and at one time was rated
at nearly $2,000,000.

Object to General Application of the
Indian "Lid."
If agents of the Indian department
confine their activities in enforcing
the Indian treaty lid of 1855 to such
towns as Bemidji, Walker, Cass Lake,
Bena and Ball Club it is likely they
will meet with no opposition from the
State Brewers' association and the
Business Men's Treaty committee, of
which Mayor Victor Power of Hibbing
is chairman.
If Special Agent H. A. Larson, representing Cato Sells, commissioner of
Indian affairs at Washington, attempts
to extend the application of the supreme court's decision of June 8 to
cities unfrequented by the Indians
protracted litigation will ensue.
This summary of the situation was
authorized by Fred YV. Zollman, attorney for the Brewers' association.
